Photos of things like a really big tree

This is Andrea. This photo was takin at the luge run in Rotorua, in the interior of the north island. A lot of people will tell you that when you visit Rotorua you should see the large amount geothermal activity that occurs in the area. This is wrong. Upon arrival in Rotorua, you shall proceed directley to the luge track , pay your money and instantely the fun will begin. I can honestly say that I would fly around the world, to do this (this is my actual reason for returning to NZ after a six year hiatus). It is the best thing EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact I will come back ina month when a new track opens up. That is correct Scuba, A NEW TRACK! Look closley at the glee on Andis face, you should be able to see it.

Dion doing his best to look cool...


Once you make it all the way to the bottom you ride a chairlift back up, th eluge carts are hanging from the bottom of the chairlift. I reckon COP could make a go of this and make a mint of money as well.

This is what happens when you park your car on 90 mile beach and let the tide come in. I guess this dude got caught in deep dry sand. He was stuck and it was only a matter of time before the tide came in an ran a clinic in car ruining.

Artsy Raglan shot...

A Photo of the Raglan point break doing what it does, breaking at a point. There was a lot of water moving around that day, a bit messy. I mostly watched.

This is my girlfriend, can you see why I date her? Beaut isn't she?

This is Dion at Raglan. This was approximatly 30 mins prior to his 15 minute paddle that saw him, rip a fin out if his surf board and punch a plug through the top deck. That is tech talk for Dion f*&%ked up his board. Oh yah, I am growing my moustache out for MOVEMBER. Google it when you should be working to find out what it is all about. This is week two, Gordy you should be impressed that your son at the age of 30 can now pump out a moustache in 2 weeks.

Meet PY, our car, its a 4WD. It is red and awesome. Did I mention it is 4WD? This is PY at the Raglan Point, Manu Bay.

Here is the really Big Tree, in fact its the biggest tree in NZ. It is called a Kauri and before the greenies got ahold of the idea of chopping them down they yielded the most merchanable timber per tree in the world. Its a big tree...
